Correct Answer

✅ Option d — $9000$

All Options:

  • A$8876$
  • B$9156$
  • C$9472$
  • D$9000$

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the fixed bill be x\displaystyle x and the rate per km be y\displaystyle y. We can formulate the following linear equations from the given conditions: x+456y=8252— (Equation 1)x + 456y = 8252 \quad — (Equation 1)\displaystyle \text{--- (Equation 1)} x+484y=8728— (Equation 2)x + 484y = 8728 \quad — (Equation 2)\displaystyle \text{--- (Equation 2)} Subtracting Equation 1 from Equation 2: (x+484y)−(x+456y)=8728−8252(x + 484y) - (x + 456y) = 8728 - 8252 28y=47628y = 476 y=47628=17 Rs./kmy = 47628=17\displaystyle \frac{476}{28} = 17  Rs./km\displaystyle \text{ Rs./km} Substituting the value of y=17\displaystyle y = 17 into Equation 1: x+456(17)=8252x + 456(17) = 8252 x+7752=8252x + 7752 = 8252 x=8252−7752=500 Rs.x = 8252 - 7752 = 500  Rs.\displaystyle \text{ Rs.} Thus, the fixed charge is $500$ Rs. and the variable rate is $17$ Rs. per kilometer. Now, we calculate the bill for a distance of $500$ km: Total Bill=x+500y=500+500(17)=500+8500=9000 Rs.Total Bill=x+500y=500+500\displaystyle \text{Total Bill} = x + 500y = 500 + 500(17) = 500 + 8500 = 9000  Rs.\displaystyle \text{ Rs.} This corresponds to Option D. (Note: The raw JSON specifies Option A, which is $8876$, but mathematically Option D is the correct answer). Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
